Active Borderlands 3 Shift Codes and Redemption Methods: A Compendium
Get Your Hands on Borderlands 3 Goodies with Shift Codes
Borderlands 3 is a looter shooter that continues Gearbox's tradition of dishing out post-launch loot and rewards via Shift codes. These codes can be redeemed at shift.gearboxsoftware.com and come in various types, including Golden Keys that unlock unique items.
Unlocking the Good Stuff with Shift Codes
Like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Shift codes, Borderlands 3's Shift rewards revolve around different types of keys, which are used at a chest in Sanctuary to unlock new guns and cosmetic items. In essence, it's like a free loot box system. The main catch is that some codes expire quickly, so it's helpful to have a guide like this bookmarked. We keep a living log of every Shift code as it comes in, along with its reported expiration date and occasional permanent code.

Finding Shift Codes
Shift codes often arrive in the form of multi-use codes that can be redeemed for Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. To find them as they appear, keep an eye on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford's Twitter account, where codes tend to show up first. If there aren't any active codes there, try the official Borderlands account, as codes have dropped there in the past.
Redeeming Your Shift Codes
Borderlands 3 Shift codes can be redeemed both in-game and online via shift.gearboxsoftware.com. If you have a multiplatform code and it doesn't work, try redeeming it in-game first before giving up.
